The <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/beauty/Dolly-Parton-Straight-Hair-2018-45546916" >bubbly blonde</a> has been a hair and makeup inspiration and isn't afraid to admit her love of all things beauty-related. She's never denied her <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/beauty/Celebrity-Botox-Secrets-Movies-45521885" >penchant for cosmetic procedures</a>, gladly experiments with colorful makeup, and encourages everyone to do whatever makes them feel most confident by living by example. The singer has had a bevy of looks over the years, but she's always seen with <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/beauty/Megan-Fox-Blond-Hair-January-2019-45680637" >blond hair</a>, an impressive amount of volume, and a smile on her face. </p>
<p>No matter how many times she sings it, we don't believe any girl (even Jolene) was able to steal her man. Ahead you'll see how Parton's look has changed over the years. </p>

In her latest Instagram post, the 23-year-old model and <strong>Keeping Up With the Kardashians</strong> star discussed her <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/beauty/Kendall-Jenner-Proactiv-2019-45647828" >experience with acne</a>. </p>
<p>She captioned a photo of her with her hair wrapped in a towel and seemingly <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/beauty/How-Get-Clear-Skin-Through-Diet-42446517" >clear skin</a>: "While there are much bigger problems happening in the world, suffering from <a href="https://www.popsugar.com.au/beauty/Kendall-Jenner-Acne-Golden-Globes-2018-45646935" target="_blank">acne for me was debilitating</a>. It's something that I've dealt with since I was a young teen and has caused me to feel anxious, helpless, and insecure. As humans, I don't think we share our insecurities enough because we live in a time where being 'perfect' is the standard. We curate our life online and pick the pretty moments to post. I'd like to show a younger generation that not everything is perfect. Being insecure about my acne gave me thick skin but I wouldn't ever wish that feeling upon anyone so after trying countless options, I found something that has been helpful in maintaining clear skin for me. It's been a long journey but I'm excited for where my skin is now. I didn't think I'd see the day where I would feel confident posting a makeup free picture."</p>
<p>Jenner is <a href="https://www.proactiv.com/en_us/proactiv-md-acne-system.html" target="_blank">ProactivMD</a>'s newest ambassador, and in her promotional video for the brand (which debuted during the Golden Globes), she opens up about how comments made about her acne had overshadowed her confidence at an award show she'd attended. "I felt so good I completely forgot that I had bad skin," she said.</p>

On Monday night's season premiere of <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/The-Bachelor" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><strong>The Bachelor</strong></a>, a number of contestants were quick to single out Catherine Agro as a potential season villain. <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Reactions-Catherine-Bachelor-45654208" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">She talked to Colton a record <em>four</em> times at the cocktail party</a> ahead of the rose ceremony, leaving others miffed they didn't get more time with him.</p>
<p>But <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Who-Catherine-Agro-From-Bachelor-45655086" >what does 26-year-old Catherine do when she's not vying for Colton's love</a>, or caring for <a href="http://www.instagram.com/misslucyagro/" target="_blank">her dog, Lucy</a>? According to <a href="https://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelor/cast/season-23-catherine-2019" target="_blank">her <strong>Bachelor</strong> contestant bio</a>, she's a recreational DJ, in addition to being a real estate agent. "By night, Catherine is DJ Agro - an up-and-coming hip-hop DJ making a name for herself on the Ft. Lauderdale club scene," her bio reads.</p>
<p>With that in mind, can local <strong>Bachelor</strong> fans go see DJ Agro in action? <a href="https://www.instagram.com/missagro_/" target="_blank">Catherine's Instagram bio says that she's a producer/DJ</a>, so it looks like this isn't just a joke she made up for the show. Unfortunately, her Instagram account features just 27 posts, none of which show her DJ skills in action.</p>
<p>Catherine's Instagram bio also links to a website for <a href="https://www.jadegreen.com/" target="_blank">Jade Green Consulting</a>, "an elite professional advisory firm focused on international cannabis business initiatives." <a href="https://www.jadegreen.com/new-index/" target="_blank">Her bio on the site reads</a>: "After receiving dual degrees in Communications and Business Marketing, Catherine studied International Business at RMIT in Melbourne, Australia. Prior to joining Jade Green Consulting to lead business development initiatives, Catherine spent over four years in commercial real estate sales and development in South Florida." Among that, real estate, and her apparent DJ endeavors, Catherine definitely keeps busy.</p>
<p>It's worth pointing out that Catherine's ABC bio lists her as an "up-and-coming" DJ. So it's possible that she didn't have many gigs before going on the show, and that <strong>The Bachelor</strong> will help her draw more business to her side hustle, whether or not she and Colton end up together. For now, though, there doesn't seem to be much evidence of Catherine's DJ career online, so fans will just have to take her word for it.</p>

<a href="https://www.popsugar.com/news/What-Microaggression-Against-Transgender-Person-45666057"><img width="160" height="106" src="https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/5kmFmvC-_NfvuENP8AqhZumVinI/fit-in/160x160/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/01/14/815/n/38761221/9a3415075c3cd64c72b416.60206171_.jpg" /></a><p>Conventional wisdom tells us that backhanded compliments are not cute - as a matter of fact, they are not compliments at all. They're nothing more than thinly disguised insults, and when it comes to marginalized groups, they're frequently microaggressions. By definition, a microaggression is a comment or action that expresses a prejudiced attitude toward a member of a marginalized group. </p>
<p>I am a black transgender woman, and I face these microaggressions daily, while scrolling through Tinder or simply walking down a sidewalk minding my own business. Microaggressions surrounding my gender identity can come in the form of "I didn't know you were trans, you look just like a woman!" or "You're cute for a trans!" - lest we forget that the word transgender is not a noun or a verb and therefore should not be used with such incorrect and offensive grammar. </p>
<p>I am also a transgender woman with passing privilege and one who is garnered conventionally pretty. However, although these conventional privileges allow me safer access to spaces that others within my community may not be awarded, I am doubly marginalized as a black person and transgender woman. If I am not clocked as transgender, I still face the various microaggressions that come with being a black girl; expressions such as "you're pretty for a black girl" or "what are you mixed with?" or harassment such as touching my hair or questioning my intellect on a given subject. </p>
<p>These types of microaggressions aren't just situational to me but to the transgender community as a whole. Every day, cisgender people harass my community with these forms of microaggression - even if it's unintentional. With that in mind, I asked people in the transgender and nonconforming community to share microaggressions they have experienced at least once in their lifetimes in the hopes of educating everyone on what qualifies as a compliment - and what's downright offensive.</p>

I would not, at any point, imagine that thousands of people were virtually lining up for a pair of baby PJs. </p>
<p>But that's just what they did. And, after one look at them, I can honestly see why. The coveted "Rainbow Heart" pajamas from <a href="http://www.primary.com/?ref=header" target="_blank">Primary</a> - the children's clothing company known for its simple, high-quality, gender-neutral styles in a rainbow of colors - are downright adorable <em>and</em> affordable. Retailing for $20, the newly launched footed PJs are made with 100-percent combed cotton and feature handy nonskid soles. Even better, if your kiddo has graduated the 24-month sizing, the brand also released PJ separates in the same print for sizes two through 12, with a total cost of just $32.</p>
<p>Because everyone on the wait list was notified immediately after they debuted on the site this weekend, I don't imagine they'll stay in stock for long.</p>

<p>Marvel fans already have the scoop on <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/latest/Spider-Man:-Far-From-Home"><strong>Spider-Man: Far From Home</strong></a>'s most recognizable villain, Mysterio (<a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Jake-Gyllenhaal-Playing-Villain-Spider-Man-Sequel-44866654">played by Jake Gyllenhaal</a>), but they might not be well-versed on the other danger threatening to <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Spider-Man-Far-From-Home-Details-44977676">interrupt Peter Parker's Summer vacation</a>. Namely, the four known as the Elementals in Marvel Comics lore. </p>
<p>The Elementals are <a href="https://www.marvel.com/teams-and-groups/elementals" target="_blank">four immortal, extradimensional humanoids</a> with power over natural forces: Hellfire, Hydron, Magnum, and Zephyr, each possessing power over fire, water, earth, and air, respectively. According to lore, they ruled a kingdom on Earth before the rise of Atlantis and were banished to another dimension when they tried to conquer Egypt. They eventually make their way back to modern Earth and frequently lock horns with <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/latest/Captain-Marvel">Carol Danvers</a> (which is a pretty interesting connection to the upcoming <strong>Captain Marvel</strong> film). The Elementals are seriously formidable foes with a bloodthirst that rivals most Marvel villains - though Thanos will always hold <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Reactions-Thanos-Avengers-Infinity-War-44824493">a special place in our hearts</a>. </p>

<p>Thanks to <a href="https://twitter.com/AlbertoB_B/status/1085188472384643120" target="_blank">some subtle Easter eggs</a> that <a href="https://twitter.com/silaslesnick/status/1085293655659753472" target="_blank">fans caught in the trailer</a>, some believe the villains could be a reinvention of the <strong>Amazing Spider-Man</strong>'s Sandman, Molten Man, and Hydro-Man. While it would definitely be cool to see the classic villains make their collective debut on the big screen - though Sandman does appear in <strong>Spider-Man 3</strong>, played by Thomas Haden Church - the beings shown in the trailer point to Elementals more than anyone else. The "Sandman" in the trailer looks to be made from rocks, which is much more Magnum's ability than Sandman's, and Zephyr is shown to be creating the windstorm that Spider-Man glides through in his new suit. </p>
<p>Though Spider-Man never encounters the Elementals in the comic book, his adventures against Mysterio might suggest a reason they're making an appearance in the MCU. In the comics, Mysterio's abilities are generally limited to his knowledge of stunt-work and special effects. He doesn't have the Doctor Strange-like powers that we glimpsed in the teaser. One of his favorite tricks is to create illusions of terrifying monsters that only he can defeat so he can play the hero and win the fame he thinks he deserves. It wouldn't be absurd to wonder if he's using the Elementals to play the same trick in <strong>Far From Home</strong>. </p>
<p>We won't know anything more until the film comes out on July 5, but we can already tell it'll be exciting!</p>

Earlier in the week, Karen announced her plans to resume teaching at <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2019/01/18/mike-pence-defends-wifes-teaching-job-anti-lgbtq-school-virginia-accuses-media-attacking-christian-education/?noredirect=on&amp;utm_term=.bfd349801099" target="_blank">an anti-LGBTQ+ Christian school</a>, and Gaga is not here for it. "If Mike Pence thinks it's acceptable that his wife works at a school that bans LGBTQ, you are wrong," she said in a Twitter video posted by a fan. "You are the worst representation of what it means to be a Christian. I am a Christian woman and what I do know about Christianity is that we bear no prejudice and everybody is welcome."</p>
<p>Gaga also spoke out against <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/news/How-Women-Affected-Government-Shutdown-2019-45667692" >the ongoing government shutdown</a> and took a shot directly at <a class="sugar-inline-link" title="Latest photos and news for Donald Trump" href="https://www.popsugar.com/Donald-Trump" target="_blank">Donald Trump</a>. "If the f*cking president of the United States could please put our government back," Gaga urged. "There are people who live paycheck to paycheck and need their money." </p>
<p>Just last week, Karen announced that she would be teaching art again at Immanuel Christian School in Virginia after she previously stopped when Mike left Congress to become the governor of Indiana. The school not only requires that its employees follow rules that discriminate against gay and transgender people, but <a href="https://people.com/politics/karen-pence-teaching-anti-gay-bible-school/" target="_blank">its application form</a> also asks applicants to confirm that their marriage is "the uniting of one man and one woman."

<p>When it comes to the kings and queens of <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/Game-of-Thrones"><strong>Game of Thrones</strong></a>, it seems like everyone and their mother is gunning for the throne in some shape or form. We've seen three Baratheons (though one actually was king), four Lannisters, <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/What-Did-Olenna-Do-Lannisters-Game-Thrones-43811672">House Tyrell</a>, and <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Why-Were-Cutting-Out-Tongues-During-Euron-Attack-43785722">what I'm assuming was all of Dorne</a> go down in the battle for the Iron Throne, and the only person who's made any progress is Cersei Lannister - and we all know <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Game-Thrones-Hint-About-Jaime-Killing-Cersei-43788115">that's not going to end well</a>. Now that we're quickly approaching <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Game-Thrones-Season-8-Trailer-45203885">the final season</a>, the question on everyone's mind - even the characters themselves - is who will finally claim the Iron Throne? The answer may have been under our noses all along: Sansa Stark.</p>
<p>Since her first introduction, <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Why-Sansa-Stark-Best-Character-Game-Thrones-43749811">Sansa's narrative centers on queenship</a>. As a tween, she's preparing to be a southern princess and marry Prince Joffrey. She's admittedly at her worst during the beginning of season one, but she's also around 13 and spoiled, so that isn't a massive surprise. After the death of her father and the beginning of the War of the Five Kings, everything changes. </p>
<div class="pullquote-container"><blockquote class="pullquote">She's also not afraid to be fierce and unrelenting.</blockquote></div>
<p>Though Sansa's narrative shifts focus to her imprisonment at Kings Landing and her family's slow demise, there are still moments where her potential is apparent. The Battle of the Blackwater is a particularly important moment because it shows the greatest difference between Cersei's way of ruling and the potential Sansa has to be a queen. Though she's visibly terrified and believes her continued survival depends on the battle's outcome, she is the one who calms the people of King's Landing while Cersei flees the Maidenvault. She puts the needs of those around her over her own.</p>
<p>She continues to show her compassion as the series continues. Sansa is sweet to Tommen during her time in King's Landing, even though he's part of the family that tortures her; she risks the ire of Joffrey and Cersei to save Sir Dontos's life; and at the Eyrie in the Vale of Arryn, she shows affection to little Robin even though he's <em>terrible</em>. Her compassion would make her a completely different ruler than Westeros has seen in a while, and it's a marked difference between her and the current queen, for sure. </p>

11 Key Details We Have About Game of Thrones Season 8
</a>
</div>
<p>But she's also not afraid to be fierce and unrelenting; she's the one who pushes Jon to help her fight for Winterfell and has no qualms letting Ramsay know where he can stick his threats. When Jon doesn't heed her advice to postpone battle to get more men, she contacts Petyr behind his back, saving both Jon and his forces when Ramsay's men pin them in. Sansa is the one who wrangles in the northern lords while Jon is with Dany, and <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Sansa-Arya-Working-Together-Game-Thrones-43921318">she plots with her siblings</a> to take down Petyr for good (we'll all have to agree to ignore <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Game-Thrones-Scene-When-Sansa-Turned-Littlefinger-43968833">the cut scene between Sansa and Bran</a> because it casts a very bad light on <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Why-Arya-Stark-Overrated-Game-Thrones-43892164">both Stark sisters</a>).</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/What-Crypt-Winterfell-Game-Thrones-45674701">Winterfell</a> is the first time Sansa is truly a leader, as the lady of the house and Jon's regent, and she visibly flourishes in the role. The show takes pains to show the difference between Jon and Sansa's ruling styles: Jon (<a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Jon-Snow-Letter-Sansa-Game-Thrones-Finale-43965969">before he bends the knee</a>) is a reluctant king who isn't really into the politics of his position and prefers to follow his warrior instincts. He sees the big picture (<a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/What-Happened-Wall-Game-Thrones-43964887">the Night King's threat</a>), but misses the smaller details (his northern lords don't agree with any of his decisions). While Sansa has an admittedly mixed bag of role models, she's continues to learn enough from all of them to be an efficient leader that can see the details of the picture. </p>
<p>As we've seen, Sansa has the honor and steel of <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Sansa-Catelyn-Stark-Similarities-Game-Thrones-41717134">her father and mother</a>, while understanding what got them killed. She's ruthless and supports her family's interests, like Cersei, <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Major-Difference-Between-Sansa-Cersei-Game-Thrones-44097639">but is more compassionate and concerned about her people</a>. Petyr Baelish taught her to be sly, but <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/How-Did-Littlefinger-Die-Game-Thrones-43946705">she knows better than to burn as many bridges as him</a>. And if she were to ever sit on the throne, there's no doubt she would be wary enough to surround herself with people she can trust - like Brienne of Tarth, Arya, and <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Should-Sansa-Tyrion-Get-Together-Game-Thrones-43983463">even Tyrion</a>. Honestly, with a crew like that, Sansa could be the greatest queen the Seven Kingdoms have ever seen. </p>

Did You Notice? The Game of Thrones Teaser Contains a VERY Telling Daenerys Easter Egg
</a>
</div>
<p>Of course, this is mostly banking on Jon, Dany, and Cersei not contending for the throne. Cersei is really a nonfactor, since we all know <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Cersei-Die-Childbirth-Game-Thrones-43878783">that blonde is going down</a>. Daenerys's survival <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Daenerys-Going-Die-Game-Thrones-43698351">is up in the air</a> because she's too popular and bloodthirsty ("Dracarys" is like the only word in her vocabulary now) to actually make it to the end, and <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Jon-Snow-Statue-Old-Game-Thrones-Season-8-Teaser-45680471">Jon doesn't even want the throne</a>. So if there is still an ugly Iron Throne for someone to sit on, Sansa Stark might just be the best bet to sit on it.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It must be said, as much as <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Sansa-Like-Daenerys-Game-Thrones-Season-8-45684919">queenship is woven</a> into her narrative, Sansa has been <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Did-Brienne-Know-Sansa-Arya-Plan-Kill-Littlefinger-43947172">very vocal about her desire to never leave the North</a> again. Just like Jon, she wants nothing to do with the Iron Throne. If there is any throne she's most likely to sit on, it's the northern one, and it's the one I think she would be happiest taking. Whether or not the Iron Throne still exists after <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Game-Thrones-Season-8-Battle-Details-45555570">the battle against the Night King and his army</a>, it's more than likely the North will desire independence once again. As the eldest Stark and the only one capable of ruling (considering <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/What-Bran-Three-Eyed-Raven-Powers-43946979">Bran is a Three-Eyed Raven now</a> and Arya would <em>never</em>), Sansa is the natural choice and would most likely have the full support of the northern lords behind her (as they were when Jon was gone).</p>
<p>Of course, this is all speculation as <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Game-Thrones-Season-8-Premiere-Date-44530570">the final season</a> is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. <strong>Game of Thrones</strong> fans are forever on the edge of our seats waiting to see how it all works out, especially when it comes to who ends up "on top of the wheel." If any of us have learned anything over the last seven seasons, it's to never underestimate a northerner, especially Sansa Stark.</p>

<p>Before Meghan Markle rose to fame as an actress (and eventually a royal), she was just an ordinary college student and a sorority sister. While studying at Northwestern University, where she double-majored in theater and international relations (how fitting!), Meghan was also a member of <a href="http://www.kappakappagamma.org/kappa/" target="_blank">Kappa Kappa Gamma</a>, a sisterhood founded in 1870 at Monmouth College on the tenets of friendship, support, self-growth, and continuing education. To celebrate her <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/Prince-Harry-Meghan-Markle-Wedding-Pictures-44843378" >nuptials last May</a>, KKG even released Meghan's 2000-2001 sophomore <a href="https://twitter.com/Suntimes/status/935258924261040128/photo/1" target="_blank">sorority portrait</a>, and - no surprise - she hasn't aged a day (minus the <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/fashion/Meghan-Markle-Engagement-Ring-44301791" >gorgeous ring</a> and the <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/Meghan-Markle-Pregnancy-Pictures-45386936" >baby bump</a>).</p>

From Royal Fiancée to Royal Favorite: Meghan Markle&apos;s Whirlwind 2018, in Pictures

<p>Though Meghan has largely remained mum about her time during college, reporting that she was a <a href="http://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/news/a7733/meghan-markle-interview/" target="_blank">theater nerd</a> and loved that Northwestern gave her a chance to <a href="http://www.allure.com/story/meghan-markle-racism-against-biracial-actresses" target="_blank">explore her biracial identity</a> through an African-American studies class, her fellow Kappa sisters have <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/chicagoinc/ct-ent-meghan-markle-northwestern-20180509-story.html" target="_blank">nothing but good things to say</a> about the future royal, who also served as a recruitment chairwoman for the sorority. As Liz Kores Graham, a woman who rushed Kappa Kappa Gamma alongside Meghan when they were freshmen, told the <strong>Chicago Tribune</strong>, "Meg was sort of always this ethereal, sophisticated, beautiful creature who lived with us and was always willing to lend you a top." </p>
<p>Her Kappa sister Liz also mentioned that Meghan was always diplomatic as she navigated conflict in the sorority house, which we imagine was great preparation for navigating the many rules and complications of the royal family, though Kappa's core values may have also played a role. According to Cari Hahn, who was a sister from the same sorority but in another chapter in Florida, Kappa is very <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/Meghan-Markle-Involved-Charities-44562357" >passionate about philanthropy</a> and Meghan is a <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/949376/meghan-markle-royal-wedding-sorority-kappa-kappa-gamma-royal-family-northwestern" target="_blank">perfect embodiment of those values</a>. "I think Meghan will be able to use the skills she's learned and use them with her new role in the royal family," Cari told <strong>Express</strong>. </p>
<p>Another Northwestern Kappa Kappa Gamma member who graduated a year before Meghan, Coulter Bump, recalls how she and her sisters were <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/chicagoinc/ct-ent-meghan-markle-northwestern-20180509-story.html" target="_blank">instantly drawn to Meghan's charm</a> and worked hard to recruit her. "She always had this manner to her of being dignified and poised, just very appropriate in every circumstance," she said. "A person like that is what I wanted to ensure we had in our house and luckily, she liked us back." Considering how smitten we are with the glowing beauty, it's no surprise that an 18-year-old Meghan was a top pick when it came to recruitment.</p>

<p>Are you tired of talking about the new <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/Game-of-Thrones"><strong>Game of Thrones</strong></a> teaser? Well, <em>too bad</em>! (Cue evil, maniacal laughter that lasts a few seconds too long.) Now that we finally have <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Game-Thrones-Season-8-Trailer-45203885">our first look at the final season</a>, every fan is off to the races with all kinds of theories. Is the whole thing <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Game-Thrones-Teaser-One-Bran-Prophecies-Theory-45676951">just one of Bran's visions</a>? What's the deal with <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/What-Does-Feather-Mean-Game-Thrones-Season-8-Trailer-45675404">that strange little feather</a>? Why the hell does Jon Snow's statue <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Jon-Snow-Statue-Old-Game-Thrones-Season-8-Teaser-45680471">look old as balls</a>? You may think we've run through <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Game-Thrones-Season-8-Teaser-Breakdown-Easter-Eggs-45676666">just about everything</a>, but there's one significant moment that requires a bit of digging to verify: Sansa's hair.</p>
<p>The intricate hairstyles of Sansa Stark have been a discussion for quite some time now. Even as the penultimate season of the series dropped back in 2017, actress Sophie Turner confirmed that like Gretchen Wieners, so too is her hair full of secrets. "Sansa's hair plays sort of a big role, I think, in subliminal messages in her journey," Turner <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/beauty/Sophie-Turner-Announced-Wella-Professionals-Ambassader-43634497">told POPSUGAR</a> in August 2017. "She's a very silent character, you know; you don't really know what she's thinking, or who is having influence over her. And that was one of the ways we showed - that and her costumes - was the only real way that we knew what she was taking in and learning from these people, because she would mirror Cersei's hairstyle or Margaery's hairstyle. When she went away with Littlefinger, she dyed her hair black for a second and that sort of mirrored him. And it's really interesting to see that sort of physical representation of her adapting to each situation; it was a really smart move."</p>
<p>In previous seasons, her hair at different times appeared to be modeled after other strong women, like Margaery Tyrell and Cersei Lannister, as Turner noted. Which brings us right back to the new teaser and the hair that lies therein.
</p>
<p></p>
<p>Sansa's hair in the <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/What-Crypt-Winterfell-Game-Thrones-45674701">"Crypts of Winterfell"</a> teaser has a marked similarity to Daenerys Targaryen's hair in the season seven teaser, called "The Long Walk." The coiled spiral of braids at the backs of their heads, the curled tumbling locks that cascade down their backs . . . it's not an exact replica, but it's clear that the styles are . . . well, sisters, for lack of a better word. In other shots, you can see how singular braids at the front of the scalp have been pulled back to contribute to the entire look. The similarities seem especially telling when you consider the tiny sliver of footage that was released a few weeks prior.</p>
<p>In a brief look at what HBO has to offer in 2019, we catch the moment in which <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Game-Thrones-Season-8-Trailer-45203885">Sansa and Dany meet in person</a>. "Winterfell is yours, your grace," Sansa says to the Mother of Dragons. Now, taking all of this into account, the new hair hint can be interpreted in a couple of ways. It <em>could</em> mean Sansa actually takes a liking to Dany, and even ends up looking up to her and taking inspiration from her. After all, Dany is a fierce, powerful, independent queen who destroys the men who stand in her way. What <em>wouldn't</em> Sansa find inspiring about that?</p>

<p>There's something else to consider, too: in "The Long Walk," Dany is walking to her throne at Dragonstone, finally taking her rightful place on the shoulders of her ancestors. Could this be a hint that Sansa may also be on the road to her own crown? Is this perhaps a tiny hint that she may preside over one (or all) of the Seven Kingdoms? After all, many have speculated that <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Daenerys-Going-Die-Game-Thrones-43698351">Daenerys could die</a> before the series ends, so that would absolutely leave room for Sansa to ascend.</p>
<p>As ever, the mysteries surrounding the final season are just as exciting and enigmatic. We can't wait to see how it all pans out. And if we've learned one thing over the course of the show, it's that you should never, ever underestimate the power and cunning of one Sansa Stark.</p>

How often you <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/beauty/Which-Shampoo-Should-I-Use-44753808" >wash your hair</a>, it seems, boils down to personal preference. Right?</p>
<p>Not so fast. The answer to that question is murky, but can be summed up in four words: for the most part - but there are a few factors to keep in mind. First, there's the issue of <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/beauty/Best-Shampoos-Use-Oily-Hair-45068749" >stripping your scalp</a> of its natural oils when you overwash. "Then, you must consider your <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/beauty/Customized-Shampoo-Conditioner-Your-Hair-Type-44565576" >hair type</a>, texture, <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/beauty/Best-New-Scalp-Products-2019-45658319" >scalp condition</a>, damage, and the style you wear," said <a href="http://www.instagram.com/kevinmancusonyc/?hl=en" target="_blank">Kevin Mancuso</a>, hairstylist and global creative director for Nexxus. Oh, and don't forget your environment. ("If you live in a polluted city, you're going to want to wash your hair more frequently than you probably do.") </p>
<p>So, how often should <em>you</em> "do" it? We asked a handful of pros for their opinion, so you can consider the search, well, done.</p>

Houston-based makeup artist <a href="http://www.instagram.com/stellarmakeupartistry/" target="_blank">@stellarmakeupartistry</a> posted the below video of her cleansing her brushes with the kitchen tool with the caption: "I couldn't find one of them rubber thingys to wash my brushes. So when i was in line at @marshalls i got desperate and grabbed this lil strainer💡 and it worked amazing!" </p>
<p>After seeing how simple her hack was, I <em>had</em> to put it to the test. I chose the brushes I used the most - a small blending brush that I use to get powder highlighter under my brow bone, <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/buy/Sigma%20Beauty%20High%20Cheekbone%20Highlighter%20Brush-406428?p_name=Sigma%20Beauty%20High%20Cheekbone%20Highlighter%20Brush&retailer=shop.nordstrom.com&price=20&evar1=bella%3Aus&evar9=45688849&evar98=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.popsugar.com%2Fbeauty%2FStrainer-Brush-Cleaning-Hack-45688849&list1=beauty%2Cmakeup%2Cmakeup%20brush%2Cbeauty%20trends%2Ctrending%20topics%2Cshoppable&prop13=mobile&pdata=1" rel="nofollow" data-shoppable-link='1' target="_blank">Sigma Beauty High Cheekbone Highlighter Brush</a> ($20), and <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/buy/Sigma%20Beauty%20Flat%20Kabuki%20Makeup%20Brush-406429?p_name=Sigma%20Beauty%20Flat%20Kabuki%20Makeup%20Brush&retailer=shop.nordstrom.com&price=25&evar1=bella%3Aus&evar9=45688849&evar98=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.popsugar.com%2Fbeauty%2FStrainer-Brush-Cleaning-Hack-45688849&list1=beauty%2Cmakeup%2Cmakeup%20brush%2Cbeauty%20trends%2Ctrending%20topics%2Cshoppable&prop13=mobile&pdata=1" rel="nofollow" data-shoppable-link='1' target="_blank">Sigma Beauty Flat Kabuki Makeup Brush</a> ($25), which I use to apply my <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/beauty/How-Choose-Best-Foundation-45125255" >liquid foundation</a> and BB Cream - to put the hack to the test. </p>
<p>I ran each brush under my running faucet, dipped them in my usual makeup brush cleansing liquid (a mixture of olive oil and dish soap), and swirled the brush around in the strainer the way Stellar had in her video. I swished the fibers around for about three to five seconds before rinsing, checking to see if there was still glitter and flesh-toned liquid caked in them.</p>
<p>For the brushes that were doused in my powder makeup, it only took a few seconds to get them completely clean. For the Flat Kabuki, I noticed that its fibers didn't want to let go of the caked-on liquid bases, so I spent a full five minutes swirling and wringing out the fibers.</p>
<p>Ultimately, Stellar's trick worked, but it's important to note that different textures will cling on for longer and may require a little more moxie. See our test of the viral hack ahead.</p>

<p>All women everywhere, your undivided attention is required. The holy grail of shapewear has been uncovered. I have been hunting for a bodysuit that fills all my requirements, and I finally found it. This <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/buy/Bali%20Shapewear%20Lace%20%27N%20Smooth%20Body%20Briefer-116453?p_name=Bali%20Shapewear%20Lace%20%27N%20Smooth%20Body%20Briefer&amp;retailer=amazon.com&amp;price=28&amp;evar1=fab%3Aus&amp;evar9=44580194&amp;evar98=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.popsugar.com%2Ffashion%2FBest-Slimming-Bodysuit-Amazon-44580194&amp;list1=shopping%2Camazon%2Clingerie%2Clace%2Cbras%2Cbali%2Cbodysuits%2Csyndicate%2Cnewsletter%2Coriginal%20feature%2Cshoppable%2Cshop%2Cshop%20text%2Cfd%20shop%20carousel&amp;prop13=api&amp;pdata=1" rel="nofollow" data-shoppable-link="1" target="_blank">Bali Shapewear Lace 'N Smooth Body Briefer</a> ($28) on Amazon is my new obsession. It's cute, lacy, and makes me look 10 pounds lighter - no joke.</p>
<p>I decided to order this bodysuit after plenty of online research. This option has almost 2,000 reviews and 61 percent of customers give it five stars. I first purchased the white version of the design in a 34C and it arrived on my doorstep two days later. I slipped it on as soon as I got home and was pleasantly surprised with how it looked. It smoothed out my torso and slimmed down my stomach, but not like your ordinary shapewear; it actually looked . . . sexy. I tried on some of my favorite dresses that are usually a little snug and holy crap, they looked amazing. This bodysuit is pure magic.</p>
<p>Besides being incredibly flattering, this body briefer also has excellent chest support - the soft cups include underwire so everything stays in place. It also has snaps at the bottom so you can easily take it on and off. After wearing this bodysuit twice, I ordered it in black as well. It looks great under all the clothes I own and it's incredibly comfortable. I don't feel like a stuffed sausage all day (most shapewear is usually incredibly restricting).</p>
<p>I'm telling you, this bodysuit is worth every penny. It's hard to find quality pieces with affordable price tags, and this choice ticks off all my boxes. Treat yourself to the body briefer and you'll be hooked.</p>

Brandon Truaxe, the founder of cult skincare brand Deciem, has died, an executive at the company <a href="http://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/1/21/18191759/brandon-truaxe-deciem-dead" target="_blank">confirmed to Vox</a>. An email was sent by CEO Nicola Kilner to the staff stating Truaxe died over the weekend.</p>
<p>Deciem became a fan favorite for the affordable and effective skin care products they created; they touted themselves as the "Abnormal Beauty Company." Truaxe made headlines within the beauty community this past year for his erratic social media posts on Deciem's Instagram account. In October 2018, a <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/pamdanziger/2018/10/12/estee-lauder-files-suit-to-rid-deciem-of-its-founder-brandon-truaxe/" target="_blank">judge ousted him as CEO</a> and appointed Kilner to the position, a decision made after Estée Lauder - a minority shareholder in the company - took legal action against Truaxe after he made series a accusations regarding the company's operations. </p>
<p>Truaxe was 40 years old. We'll keep this post updated as the story develops.</p>
